Why are there so few prominent female physicists? Traditionally women have faced barriers in higher education, denying them access to higher learning and scientific laboratories. Today many of these barriers have been breached, but the female pioneers who overcame discrimination and became major players in their fields remain largely in the shadows. Out of the Shadows provides an accurate and authoritative description of these women, putting their work into its historical context. The book is an ideal reference for anyone with an interest in science and social history.
